Book of the Week: A Pick by Jordan Sullivan

This week's Book of the Week pick comes from Jordan Sullivan who has selected The Civil Dawns by Darren Almond published by Torch Press.

"As a child Monet was the first to show me that real life can be a dream. The things in front of me — the plants, the air, the light — became new unified forms. Everything was suddenly familiar and foreign. Darren Almond's book The Civil Dawns returns us to Monet’s garden at Giverny. Almond has the ability to not only see light but to anticipate it. The Civil Dawns moves us through the lush world at Giverny and into the atmosphere and light that Monet first captured — the first light, the daily moment when the world comes into view. That moment, for Almond and Monet, is infinite."—Jordan Sullivan
